5 drawing tips to make animals cuter
- Exaggerate features like the size of eyes, noses, ears.
- Add accessories – they can be hats, scarves and sweaters, but also holding an object like a flower or cup of tea.
- Hide the ugliest bits behind something, or position the animal so that part is less prominent.
- Make it cuddle-able by making the fur look a bit softer, while not entirely losing the quality of the real fur.
- Pop a little color in some area; most animals are browns and greys so find an element to bring in strong color.
Is he cute now?
